Mini kit calamita con perline «È arrivata l'estate»

“Summer has come” is a lake with a sailing boat, cottages on the shore and daisies in the foreground.

What the picture shows

The landscape is built in layers: lilac and green trees and a pale blue house with a purple roof at the top, a blue band of water with a white sailing boat in the middle, a green cottage with a red roof on the left, and a meadow below. Green beads lay out the bushes, the cottage walls, the slopes of the hills and the flower stems, while white beads form the daisies in the foreground. The orange tree on the right and the tiled roofs stay as print. 156 beads in two colours. The canvas is not filled edge to edge — the beads follow the main lines and the rest stays printed, which is why the piece reads as a drawing rather than a solid beaded carpet. Preciosa beads are calibrated and even in size, so the rows come out straight without sorting them first.
